A Le Corbusier structure has hit the market for perhaps the first time in its century of existence. The sunny Miestchaninoff House-Studio stands three stories tall amidst a thicket of trees, the crown gem of a multi-structure plot in the ritzy Boulogne-Billancourt enclave bordering Paris’s 16th arrondissement. Avant-garde artists Oscar Miestchaninoff and Jacques Lipchitz commissioned the controversial architect and his cousin Pierre Jeanneret to design their live-work spaces in the trendy modernist styles of their era.
The complex has stood at 9 Allée des Pins since 1925. Now, one aficionado can steer its next 100 years, for the price of €4.95 million ($5.1 million).
